Can anyone help with 1D.? " Endlessly irritate promoted deputy". I have " ve?p" and am completely stumped.

veep?
peev(e)- total guess as i'v never heard of veep.

Can be an abbreviation for vice president(prob pronounced vee-pee?)

from wiki - "In some countries, the vice president is called the deputy president. A common colloquial term for the office is veep, deriving from a phonetic interpretation of the abbreviation VP."
hurrah!

Mephisto 2629, Clue 1D. Many thanks Trevor, have just looked it up in Chambers Dictionary and it's there. It was not in my ancient, dog-eared edition of Chambers Words.
